Forget dealing with local IMAP servers, there's no need to add layers to a 
simple problem. All you need is to use maildir folders in kmail, and sync 
them. 

You will also probably want to sync .kde/share/config/kmailrc to get your 
filters synced, but then you may want to sync the whole .kde dir.  

Make some tests first to make sure it won't harm your configs. It will of 
course work better if the first time you sync, there's only one way for the 
kde configs (that you care about). After that, you can use rsync to preserve 
exactly what you want (i.e., preferrably one, or the latest, as in both are 
the same "desktop", that you may carry about).

I do sync all my home between my PC and a laptop, but the laptop only serves 
as a backup for me. I would speculate I could just sit at it and use it as my 
PC, but you can make some tests and conclude that on your own.
